we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.

And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

When they're saying this about Joe Biden and mainstream pro-corporate media like MSNBC...

It's really hard to take people seriously when they say AOC is too extreme to be president.

They'll always say moderate Dems are far left radicals, they can't say it anymore about AOC. The main difference is moderates try to argue that they're actually conservative which pisses off Dem voters. And progressives like AOC use it as an opportunity to talk about why the policy works, which grows the Dem voters base.

We can't keep meeting them halfway.

We need to 100% fight fascism, and we need to keep fighting. Because the fascists never stop.

I’m guessing you don’t live in a city. My opinions are to the left of most of my Democratic friends. The amount of times I’ve defended Biden’s tuition reimbursement against “I had to pay, so why don’t they?” claims is bonkers. Yes, you paid against a subsidized or 2% fixed-rate simple interest loan, not a predatory 5%+ variable-rate compound…
